Hi there! I've been a stay at home mom for 8 years and when my husband decided to become a beekeeper I thought, "Yeah right." It turns out through his passion I found mine. I love making candles and cosmetics. I'd love to hear what you think.
Thanks, Kiley

Hi all! I hope you are enjoying your 2019 so far! It’s a very snowy day for us which my kids and dogs are loving. Me, I’m inside making body butter for my drying hands. I’ll get out later to enjoy it but it’s not fun having dry hands and I need my body butter.

Hi all! It’s been a while. I’ve been so busy with the kids and getting ready for this booth and a silent auction. I’m having so much fun with new molds too. I can’t wait to share with everyone. Come on down to Brown County and see us. Only a couple weeks away!!!

I’ll have lots of candles, body butter, lip moisturizers, honey sticks, and hopefully some other new items. I’m getting really excited. Hope to see ya there!

Hi everyone! I hope all are well. It’s turning into a very busy year for us. I’ve been super busy filling orders, getting ready for a silent auction for a charity event, and making new products. Currently, I’m attempting a body butter and a lotion bar. I’m really excited and hope they turn out.

Hi everyone! We’re stuck inside thanks to this big snow storm. I hope everyone is staying safe and warm. I was going through some pictures of my journey in beeswax and found so many fails. I thought maybe we should all have a laugh at my expense and view them together. Enjoy!

Happy new year! I hope everyone is staying warm on this very cold day. I decided to finally try a recipe in one of my books by Petra Ahnert. I decided to substitute the lanolin for extra cocoa butter just in case there was an allergy to wool. It worked out though because this lip moisturizer feels so good on your lips.
